**A DIY iPhone Disassembly Experience**
As I sat down to work on my latest DIY project, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and trepidation. My task was to disassemble an iPhone, using a DIY kit that promised to reveal its inner workings. However, as I began the process, I realized that I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
The kit came with a certificate, which I thought was cute. But little did I know, it would be the first sign of trouble. As I scanned the QR code and accessed the tutorial, I began to feel a sense of unease. The instructions seemed straightforward enough, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was not quite right.
**Removing the SIM Card**
The first step in the process was to remove the SIM card slot cover. Using a key tool, I carefully opened the slot and removed the SIM card. This was easy enough, but I was relieved when it was over. The next step, however, would prove to be more challenging. With a screwdriver that was supposed to have a magnetic tip, I found myself struggling to remove two tiny screws on the end of the iPhone. It was as if they had been glued in place.
**Opening the Back Cover**
As I continued with the process, I realized that I needed to open the back cover of the iPhone. But, to my dismay, it seemed like it was stuck fast. I applied gentle pressure, but nothing seemed to work. The thought of cracking the phone was terrifying, so I decided to take a break and come back to it later.
**The Back Cover Conundrum**
With the screws out of the way, I turned my attention back to the back cover. But, as I gently pried it open, I felt a sense of trepidation. The screen seemed to be sticking to the back plate, making it impossible to remove. I tried to apply more force, but that just seemed to make things worse.
**A Hair in the Mix**
As I struggled to free myself from the iPhone's grasp, I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. A hair had somehow gotten stuck between the screen and the back plate, making it even more difficult to open. It was as if the phone was playing a cruel joke on me.
**The Frame**
Despite the setbacks, I decided to press on with the project. Using some glue, I managed to create a makeshift frame around the iPhone's innards. While it wasn't exactly what I had envisioned, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at having created something from scratch.
**A Few Words of Encouragement**
If you're thinking of taking on a similar project, I would say go for it! It may not be easy, and there's always the risk that things won't turn out as planned. But, with patience and perseverance, you can create something truly unique and special. And who knows, you might just have fun along the way.
**Conclusion**
As I finished up my DIY iPhone project, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Despite the setbacks and mishaps, I had managed to create something that was uniquely mine. It may not be perfect, but it's definitely... erin.

so that's great but that's okay because i'm really good at building stuff don't tell him but i'm actually quite excited about spending most of my day trying to build this right what's actually in here tiny cards you get a certificate with it that's so cute okay oh this is actually quite exciting wait do you just wait actually you can see from this camera up here this is this is a lot and it comes with a little bag as well this is okay this video is going to make me frame us scan the qr code for tear down tutorials okay scanning scan step one using the key tool open the sim card slot and remove it all right i've done this i've done this before because i've had to change my sim card i know technology right sim card okay good good stuff okay step two using a screwdriver unscrew the two bolts on the end of the iphone oh i think i was tightening it lefty loosey righty tighty running and running and running and the screwdriver is magnetic so the tiny little screw just sticks to it running and running and running open the back cover oh no i feel like it's glued okay have they got a little uh-huh that's glead maybe i missed this step hang on using a screwdriver open the back cover just open the back cover i don't know how to open the back cover i don't really want to force off in case i break it but that's fine wait no see that sounded like cracking and i feel like you shouldn't

well yeah there's all sorts of different options so um we'll pop a link to the to the website in the description and maybe just put a few of the different variants up on screen as well so you can see what's possible and x-ray art they sell these as pre-made um obviously to a much higher standard than erin achieved i would i would suggest look at it hmm but just not too closely right and but they also sell the diy kit so if you've got an old iphone or a game boy or something kicking around at you that doesn't work anymore and you want to take it apart and put it in a display case interesting project did you enjoy working on it yeah yeah it was actually fun i got very into it which i didn't think i would thank you very much extra for sending that over and just as full disclosure it was
